Upgrade or downgrade the Mac OS X ODBC driver

All installations of the Vertica ODBC driver for Mac OS X are uniquely identified by a package ID and version number.

All installations of the Vertica ODBC driver for Mac OS X are uniquely identified by a package ID and version number. The package ID does not change between versions, but the version number does. If you attempt multiple installations of the same version of the driver, a name collision error occurs. Therefore, multiple installations of the same version of the driver cannot coexist on a single operating system.

  • Upgrading—Newly installed versions of the Vertica ODBC driver for Mac OS X automatically upgrade the relevant driver system settings. Any DSNs associated with a previous version of the driver are not affected, except that they begin using the newer version of the driver.

  • Downgrading—Run the uninstall script to remove the current version of the Vertica ODBC driver for Mac OS X. Complete this step before installing an older driver version.
